06 Jun 2019
Just one year after registering as a pharmacist, Chantelle Bartlett found herself “getting up close and personal with athletes” at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
As a volunteer pharmacist for the Olympic Games she worked alongside all the athletes who were staying at the athlete’s village as well as the medical teams for the different countries.
When asked to describe how she felt upon arriving at the Olympic Games Chantelle says “I was beyond excited. It was overwhelming and surreal to finally be there and getting to be right in the middle of it all was amazing.”
